546.1. Where a judgment awarding support has become executory, a judge or, if the matter has not been referred to a judge, the clerk may, on the motion of the person entitled to support and if circumstances justify it, order a person to furnish the person entitled to support with the information he has on the residence and place of work of the debtor in default and, if need be, allow him to be interrogated to that effect before the clerk.
This article applies notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of a general law or special Act providing for the confidentiality or non-disclosure of certain information or documents. It does not, however, apply to a person who has received the information in the practice of his profession and who is bound to the debtor by professional secrecy.
